Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 88

‘He still lacks confidence.’

That’s why Yujun intentionally included himself when appealing to Kim Gyu-cheol.

Kim Gyu-cheol currently has very strong trust in Yujun.

So he judged that this approach would help him gain confidence.

“…!”

However, Kim Gyu-cheol understood Yujun’s words a bit differently.

Since he received S-rank training, becoming S-rank was natural.

“I’ll give it a try.”

As Kang Yu-jun’s disciple, he should naturally become S-rank.

Kim Gyu-cheol wanted to become a source of pride for Yujun, his benefactor.

If he was someone who received salvation from him, he should naturally reach S-rank.

“I’ll also try to become S-rank.”

As he touched his waist, the hammer hanging there glowed intensely.

“Then what should I make for Seo Yu-ri, our team’s first combat-type Awakened?”

“I actually called Seo Yu-ri today. She’ll be here soon, so you can see her directly and make it for her.”

“Understood. Then let me first show you what I’ve made. These are equipment for Awakened Im Seok-jae and Awakened Woo Ha-na.”

Yujun had previously requested equipment for Im Seok-jae and Woo Ha-na.

“First, this is the equipment for Im Seok-jae.”

Im Seok-jae’s ability was superhuman strength.

In addition, his hidden trait was blunt weapon master, so the equipment he requested was a giant blunt weapon.

“It’s excellent. It looks like it’ll fit that guy perfectly.”

This seemed to be exactly the maximum size that Im Seok-jae could handle.

“I made it exactly as you specified. It was enjoyable work.”

The other one was boots for Woo Ha-na.

“It’s an artifact that can assist her super-acceleration ability.”

Both artifacts exceeded Yujun’s expectations.

‘This is beyond my expectations.’

Yujun said with a pleased smile.

“At this level, equipment for Seo Yu-ri should be no problem either, right?”

At that praise, Kim Gyu-cheol smiled brightly.

“Thank you!”

As they were having a friendly conversation, Seo Yu-ri entered.

“Am I a bit late?”

“No, you came at just the right time.”

Shaaaaaaak-.

Only a week had passed.

But in that one week, Seo Yu-ri’s physical condition had completely changed.

“When I trained according to the session you created, my physical condition improved so rapidly.”

Crackle-.

Blue lightning sparked from her entire body.

She was clearly walking normally, but her speed was considerable.

It was an ability she had lost and regained. That’s why Seo Yu-ri had considerable attachment to this ability.

Moreover, the ability was writhing madly as if compensating for not being able to grow until now.

Shaaaak-.

‘The golden color has deepened.’

Meanwhile, Kim Gyu-cheol was shocked looking at Seo Yu-ri.

He knew she was an A-rank Awakener before retirement, but seeing her in person right now, she looked like S-rank or higher.

“I heard you’re making equipment for me.”

“Shoulder collision can occur. So I’m planning to compensate for collisions with a shoulder protection artifact.”

At Seo Yu-ri’s words, Yujun pointed to Kim Gyu-cheol, and Kim Gyu-cheol asked in surprise.

“Am I the one making that?”

To make a protective artifact for an S-rank Awakened.

Kim Gyu-cheol was flustered once again.

Toward him, Yujun instilled confidence.

“You can do it.”

“…Understood.”

What could he do when his teacher said he could do it.

Kim Gyu-cheol immediately opened Geumgang Forge.

Shaaaaaaak-!

“I purchased magic stones and special minerals with the money you gave me before.”

These two materials were ones that the previous Kim Gyu-cheol wouldn’t have even dared to consider.

Since he had never used them before, he had no confidence that he could handle them well.

‘Most materials would probably be like that.’

Yujun looked at him with a smile.

‘Then.’

-Checking Kim Gyu-cheol’s skills!

Yujun opened Kim Gyu-cheol’s skill window.

Right now, Yujun had 2,500 points.

‘It’ll cost a lot of points, but.’

The points invested in Kim Gyu-cheol weren’t a waste.

-First Sight Mastery [Unawakened]

‘What an insane skill.’

Yujun was amazed as he looked at First Sight Mastery.

It was a skill that allowed one to handle materials they were using for the first time as well as an expert would.

‘I have no idea what kind of crafting the founder of the Geumgang Kim Family did. This is no joke.’

It was a skill befitting the title of a great blacksmith.

Yujun immediately activated this First Sight Mastery.

-Would you like to awaken First Sight Mastery?

-Required Points: 2,500P

‘It costs 2,500 points?’

He was a bit surprised by that number.

He had exactly 2,500 points right now.

‘I’ll have to use them all.’

However, on one hand, he liked that the point cost was high.

‘It’s different from ordinary skill awakenings, right?’

Combined with Kim Gyu-cheol’s tremendous potential, it meant this skill was of considerably high caliber.

‘Hong Jun-yong’s Wind Sense cost 1,000 points, but this costs even more. Then it must be better than that.’

“Gyu-cheol, I’m going to awaken one of your skills now. It’s a skill that lets you use materials you’ve never used before as if you’re familiar with them.”

Yujun whispered quietly enough for only Kim Gyu-cheol to hear.

Kim Gyu-cheol was flustered by those words.

“Do I have that kind of power?”

“I have it. And you have the ability to handle it.”

“….”

Yujun took out the artifact orb and showed it to him.

“Excellent work, this artifact.”

Kim Gyu-cheol smiled.

Actually, when making that artifact orb, he had doubts about whether he could create such a thing.

But Yujun had given him confidence, and he was able to make it just as Yujun said.

It was the same now.

If Yujun said it was possible, then it was possible.

He just needed to trust Yujun’s words and follow him.

“Yes.”

Shaaaaa-.

Kim Gyu-cheol immediately put the supreme-grade mana stone into the furnace, took it out, and began hammering it.

Clang-!

-Skill is activating!

-The power of First Sight Mastery is activating!

Thanks to First Sight Mastery, Kim Gyu-cheol could perfectly understand how to handle the material even though it was his first time using it.

Clang-! Clang-! Clang-!

He soon began crafting without hesitation.

“…!”

Just as Kim Gyu-cheol had been amazed by Seo Yu-ri’s high level, Seo Yu-ri was also flustered seeing Kim Gyu-cheol’s crafting skills.

What he was handling now was a supreme-grade mana stone.

To handle that supreme-grade mana stone so boldly.

Having once trained crafting-type Awakened, Seo Yu-ri recognized his hammering technique and was amazed.

Clang-! Clang-! Clang-!

“I’ll take some measurements.”

“Ah, yes.”

Kim Gyu-cheol checked Seo Yu-ri’s shoulder and continued hammering.

“Good thing I bought the leather.”

“…You handle leather too?”

“Ah, yes.”

There were quite a few things he had learned in his childhood.

He just had never used them before.

Scrape-. Scrape-.

Swoosh-.

The leather work was completed in an instant, followed by the completion of the highest-grade mana stone work.

Clang-!

He used the power of Geumgang Forge to create an artifact at rapid speed.

“It’s complete.”

What he had created was exactly as Yujun had requested.

-Scanning equipment!

Yujun scanned the equipment and nodded his head with satisfaction.

“It’s exactly what I had in mind.”

-[Leather Mana Stone Arm Guard] Grade: S+

-Special Effect: Powerful inflammation reduction

Inflammation reduction.

This was the most important factor for Seo Yu-ri.

It would firmly support her shoulder and intensify mana circulation, preventing mana from remaining stagnant or flowing backward.

“Please try wearing it once.”

Yujun handed the arm guard to Seo Yu-ri.

Seo Yu-ri received the arm guard and immediately put it on her shoulder.

Swoosh-.

“…!”

Seo Yu-ri was startled and moved her arm around in various directions.

“No way, how did you find such an incredible blacksmith….”

His skill was no joke.

To create such an artifact right away.

He was a blacksmith she had never heard of before.

“The teacher rehabilitated me. I also had problems with my body.”

Both people looked at Yujun simultaneously.

Both Seo Yu-ri and Kim Gyu-cheol were more amazed by Kang Yu-jun than they were surprised by each other.

They were very curious about what kind of training he had done to find and rehabilitate such talent.

“Both of you had good talent. All I did was help that talent bloom.”

However, neither of them believed him.

And they both thought simultaneously.

-I’ve grabbed onto a shining lifeline!

Thinking this way, they couldn’t help but smile.

And the two people looked at each other and greeted politely.

“Please take care of me.”

“Please take care of me too.”

* * *

After roughly finishing the discussion about how to set up the new office.

“I plan to take the S-rank exam right away.”

“I’ll also take the promotion exam as soon as the forge work is finished!”

Yujun handed Kim Gyu-cheol more money.

“No, where does all this money keep coming from?”

“From now on, I plan to continuously increase the team members. I’ll need to make equipment for them, so I’ll need money continuously going forward.”

This time it was 1 billion won.

The money he had recently earned through training was 7 billion won.

Investing about 1 billion won wouldn’t be a problem.

Kim Gyu-cheol, who received this, nodded with a face full of firm determination.

“I’ll use it wisely.”

* * *

Uijeongbu. Gate Front.

If you were to pick the place that had undergone the biggest change due to the creation of the Tower, it would undoubtedly be this Uijeongbu.

Uijeongbu had largely lost its function as a city, and with the creation of various towers, it had become a land of bitter cold.

After that, many shops for the towers were established, and accordingly, self-employed people and freelancer Awakened gathered there.

“Looking for a main dealer! Seeking A-rank or higher Awakened main dealer to quickly go up to the 5th Floor of the Tower of Chaos!”

“Looking for a main tank. Planning to raid for 5 days and going to the Tower of Steel Rain.”

Since this place was mostly freelancer Awakened, they would form temporary teams like this to conduct raids.

Yujun, who had arrived in Uijeongbu, saw numerous Awakened forming teams.

‘Oh.’

Shaaaaa-.

An Auxiliary Awakened emitting intense healing energy throughout their body.

A Beast Awakened whose shoulders and legs instantly transformed like a beast.

Even a Summoner Awakened carrying a summoned creature on their shoulder.

He could see various types of Awakened that Yujun had never trained before.

‘They’re rough.’

The majority of the Awakened were quite rough.

They were completely different from the Awakened who started as Guild Youths.

‘…!’

Among the various Awakened that Yujun was observing, there was one that stood out the most.

Shaaaaaaak-.

A shining red light.

“He can walk around?”

Yujun couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw him.

“There’s no way he should be able to walk around like that.”
