Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 95

Awakened Management Bureau.

Deputy Director So Gang-cheol was surprised as he listened to the additional report.

“Hong Jun-yong has conquered the Tower of Winds.”

Tower of Winds.

That place had winds so strong that one couldn’t even maintain proper balance.

Because of this, the Awakened who could attempt to conquer it were limited.

Awakened capable of close-range attacks.

And heavy tank-type Awakened.

It was a place where ranged-type Awakened couldn’t even attempt to conquer.

“Awakened Hong Jun-yong? That place? How?”

“Well… a report just came in saying he conquered it.”

“Huh…?”

Deputy Director So Gang-cheol was flustered.

He conquered it?

A ranged-type Awakened?

“I know Awakened Hong Jun-yong is strong, but… could this have become possible because he received training?”

“It seems likely.”

“Quickly confirm it and report back!”

“Yes!”

Yujun’s One-Shot Guild training was a great success among successes.

Even if he had only trained the guild members, it would have been recognized as a considerable achievement, but on top of that, he had even trained Hong Jun-yong.

And that Hong Jun-yong had now conquered the Tower of Winds.

“No, even if he received training, how could a ranged-type Awakened conquer the Tower of Winds?”

Did Hong Jun-yong’s wind devour that tower’s strong winds?

Ring ring ring-.

“Did you already confirm it?”

“That’s not it… I received an additional report. Right now the One-Shot Guild Master and guild members are…”

The door to Deputy Director So Gang-cheol’s office rang loudly.

“What is it?”

“Secretary Kim requested a face-to-face report, so I had no choice but to come.”

At the urgent voice, Deputy Director So Gang-cheol used mana to open the door.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s a report regarding Trainer Kang Yu-jun!”

“What about it?”

“Trainer Seo Yu-ri, who went to One-Shot together, has requested to return to active duty. An official request has come to the Management Bureau!”

“…?”

Deputy Director So Gang-cheol was greatly flustered.

How could Seo Yu-ri return to active duty?

That serious injury was absolutely not something that could be healed.

“They say treatment is complete… Trainer Kang Yu-jun perfectly rehabilitated her…”

“Trainer Kang again?”

So Gang-cheol blinked his eyes.

Then he closed his eyes for a long time before opening them again.

“…What the hell is this? Am I dreaming right now? No, it doesn’t seem like a dream.”

The report continued to the muttering Deputy Director.

“She says she’s much stronger than before, and wants to take the S-rank Awakened test right away.”

Before retirement, Seo Yu-ri was the ranged-type Awakened who showed the steepest growth curve.

One powerful shot.

When she conquered the Tower of Time with that one shot, everyone was certain she would become an S-rank Awakened.

She was truly a regrettable talent.

At least it was fortunate that after retirement, she switched to being a trainer and was producing quite good results.

She trained promising A-rank Awakened to become aces of various guilds, and was called the hope of small and medium guilds as she steadily grew from the bottom up.

For such a person to return to active duty.

The Deputy Director let out a hollow laugh.

He was so flustered that now only laughter came out.

What on earth was in Kang Yu-jun’s training?

He trained demon beasts and even trained Hong Jun-yong, who was said to be difficult to teach.

As if that wasn’t enough, he was even bringing back an Awakened who retired due to fatal injuries to active duty?

“Hahahahahaha.”

Kang Yu-jun.

All the talk about failure and whatnot had become completely meaningless.

“He really went because he could do it!”

Even training a trainer there – this was something unheard of.

“She had decided to retire because of that severe injury…”

This would inevitably change everything.

“Korea has gained a lucky charm. An incredible one at that…”

The Deputy Director hoped the Director would return quickly.

The Director would also be quite pleased to hear this news.

“But I think the Director’s daughter was at Neverland Guild…”

The Director, who was on an overseas tour, was in the process of recruiting foreign Awakened to handle the domestic situation.

He was trying to naturalize promising overseas Awakened and make them part of Korea’s military strength.

Since the Deputy Director was handling all affairs as the Director’s proxy, the Director was also able to go abroad with peace of mind and handle his work.

“He’s going to be so surprised when he returns.”

While the Director was briefly away, Kang Yu-jun was literally stirring up the industry.

It still looked like a small whirlwind, but it was gradually growing in size like a typhoon.

Hong Jun-yong received training and conquered the Tower of Winds, and the comeback of retired supernova Seo Yu-ri was just around the corner.

And Kang Yu-jun, who was at the center of it all, was a former non-Awakened who had been expelled from Promise Guild.

“I can’t believe this.”

The smile didn’t disappear from So Gang-cheol’s lips.

“Kang Yu-jun.”

Just what kind of results was that trainer producing!

“He’s already made waves… but he might make even bigger ones.”

The Director needed to return quickly.

As Deputy Director, there were limits to how much he could support Kang Yu-jun.

“Things that require the Director’s authority. Trainer Kang Yu-jun might be able to accomplish them all.”

A new era was coming.

“But where is Trainer Kang Yu-jun right now?”

Ring ring ring-!

The phone rang again.

“Trainer Kang Yu-jun is currently at Gate Front.”

“Gate Front? No, why is he there again?”

“I’m not sure, but they say he’s training the rough Uijeongbu Awakened!”

His movements were completely unpredictable.

“Isn’t that… an area that trainers avoid?”

It was the same with One-Shot Guild before, and it was the same now.

He didn’t run away from jobs that trainers would naturally avoid.

A smile crossed So Gang-cheol’s lips at Kang Yu-jun’s actions that shattered conventional wisdom.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of results he’ll show this time.”

* * *

Baek Do-gyun had gained strong motivation for the first time in a long while.

The skills of his young junior had stimulated him.

“You’re using your ability too excessively.”

His analytical ability began to shine.

“Try throwing a punch.”

Swoosh-!

“That wave that’s bursting out. Instead of releasing that wave, you need to make your fist settle.”

Tap-. Tap-.

“Like this.”

He demonstrated and corrected.

“Repeatedly, more deeply.”

Even his students had never seen Baek Do-gyun this serious before.

The source of this was just one person.

Yujun was drawing out Baek Do-gyun’s sincerity.

But Yujun himself seemed quite happy as he watched Baek Do-gyun’s training.

“…He’s enjoying it.”

Just as Baek Do-gyun had said, Yujun was enjoying the training itself.

In the past, they too had become trainers because training was enjoyable and rewarding.

But at some point, they had forgotten.

No, they had lost it.

“It’s not gone. We can get it back too.”

Watching made something boil up inside.

Then Yujun approached Baek Do-gyun.

“So here, the mana load in the collarbone area…”

“Trainer Baek, is the reason you widened the mana load in that area because of the circulation that will happen later? When you hold the wave in your hand and rotate it vigorously, residual mana remains in the collarbone area, so you deliberately blocked the sensation, right? To heighten the sensation in other areas.”

“…”

Baek Do-gyun stared blankly at Yujun for a moment, then nodded.

“…That’s right.”

Yujun understood.

He understood the reason behind all of Baek Do-gyun’s techniques.

Why he did it this way here.

Why he did it that way just now.

Until now, Baek Do-gyun had to explain all of his intentions in detail, one by one.

Otherwise, no one could understand them, and they couldn’t understand the results either.

But Yujun was different.

He understood everything.

“Then may I also conduct training at the same time?”

This training competition wasn’t about taking turns training 5 people each.

They just had to train their assigned 5 people.

So Yujun began training, applying the knowledge he had just gained.

“…I suppose so.”

“Understood. Then, Han Seong-ju.”

Yujun called out to Han Seong-ju.

‘I learned something good.’

Circuit reduction and now sensory blocking too.

-Scanning Awakened!

-[Han Seong-ju] Overall Grade A+

-Physical: [B]

-Mental: [A+]

-Stats: [Strength 33/65] [Stamina 55/65] [Agility 31/65]

-Awakened Ability: Buffer

-Potential: Intermediate

-Special Notes: Afterimages

Han Seong-ju was an Auxiliary Awakened with the ability to grant buffs to other Awakened.

‘His stats are typical S-rank.’

However, there were afterimages in the special notes.

‘This is bad.’

Until now, those Yujun had taught had serious physical problems.

But this wasn’t a physical problem.

‘It’s a brain problem.’

The power of Auxiliary Awakened travels through mana roads toward the head.

‘The brain is in full operation.’

That’s why when residue accumulated, afterimages would appear like this.

Yujun immediately activated Training Hint.

-Training Hint [Clean out the residue completely! Clean it thoroughly with mana road circulation! Use that to solve other physical problems too!]

‘Not bad.’

But with this Training Hint, it would be difficult to train Han Seong-ju perfectly.

‘Cleaning with mana road circulation isn’t easy to begin with.’

Shaaaaa-.

Red light in his head.

The inflammation had already reached its limit.

If he cleaned in this state, the mana roads in his head might burst.

‘The head area is dangerous.’

He could actually die.

His current condition wasn’t suitable for receiving training.

It was natural that Baek Do-gyun had spoken almost like a refusal.

“He probably has no choice but to know.”

The disciples thought Kang Yu-jun had now properly grasped Han Seong-ju’s condition.

“That person can’t be helped with training.”

“If you force it, he might die.”

Behind the disciples’ words, Baek Do-gyun spoke up.

“Is it possible?”

There were reasons why he had told Han Seong-ju that training would be difficult without treating his injuries and that short-term training wasn’t possible.

It was because of the fatal inflammation visible throughout those mana roads.

And because of the mana roads in his head that were tangled up in a complete mess.

Yujun didn’t answer immediately and mentally planned out a training session.

‘It’s not like I haven’t seen cases like this. It’s actually quite common.’

In terms of difficulty, it was quite high.

Even in the Tower of Infinity, Awakened of this level weren’t easy to teach.

Currently, Yujun was Lv.3.

Even before reaching this stage, he had rehabilitated Seo Yu-ri, but Han Seong-ju wouldn’t be easy.

“It’s difficult.”

At Yujun’s words, Baek Do-gyun also smiled bitterly.

But Yujun’s words weren’t finished.

“However, I think it might be possible.”

“…!”

“…!”

At Yujun’s words, both Baek Do-gyun and his disciples were surprised.

“It’s possible…?”

“With injuries like that, it’s possible?”

Han Seong-ju, the person in question, was also surprised.

“C-can I receive training?”

“Yes, but first.”

He needed to settle the payment first.

“You’ve climbed the Tower frequently, right? This time I’d like to receive magic stones instead of money.”

“If I can just receive training! I can give you as many as you want!”

He opened the pouch where he kept his magic stones and poured them out.

Low-grade, mid-grade, and even high-grade magic stones.

Yujun smiled and gestured toward the pouch the magic stones had come from.

“Could I also receive that subspace pouch?”

The subspace pouch, a storage artifact, was quite appealing.

“Of course.”

Han Seong-ju nodded repeatedly.

If training was possible, he could give away the subspace pouch without hesitation.

He was the leader of a team.

Since he, as a buffer, was the center leading the team, without him the others couldn’t perform properly either.

“There’s something I’d like to ask.”

“Yes, please ask anything.”

“Treating injuries just takes time, which you could do.”

Yujun had asked the same question to all the Gate Front Awakened he’d trained so far.

Why they continued climbing the Tower even while carrying injuries.

“Jin-mu who just received training has a son entering university next year. And In-chan over there has a daughter who’s incredibly talented at piano. He wants to send her abroad to study. And that guy is.”

Everyone here had their circumstances.

Like Kim Seong-cheol, whom Yujun had first trained, each continued climbing the Tower despite their injuries because of their own reasons.

‘Reasons.’

Yujun thought about these reasons.

The reasons each person had were actually things a trainer didn’t need to consider from a professional standpoint.

A trainer was a profession that should only focus on showing the best training efficiency to help Awakened become stronger.

But considering the ultimate goal of training, that wasn’t right.

‘It’s right to care for all of that too.’

The situations that the Awakened to be trained were carrying.

Everyone was in different situations, and depending on those situations, their mental or physical problems could vary as well.

Then he would train all of that too.

‘Just as they are now.’

He would embrace even the reason that injuries prevented training and train them anyway.

“Let’s begin.”

Yujun snapped his fingers.

“Fen.”

Shaaaaaak-!

The moment a demon beast appeared climbing up Yujun’s hand, everyone was startled and took combat stances.

‘Han Seong-ju’s ability is buffing. So he needs a helper to receive those buffs.’

Fen would be perfect as a training assistant.

“This is my demon beast that will help with training.”

“…!”

“A, a demon beast!?”

The Gate Front Awakened reacted strongly to the word demon beast.

Since they had faced demon beasts far more than ordinary Awakened, their voices couldn’t help but get louder.

“It’s a trained demon beast.”

“C-could demon beasts be trained?”

“Huh. I think I heard a story about this recently.”

“So that was Trainer Kang!”

Baek Do-gyun had also heard that Yujun had trained a demon beast.

But this was the first time he was seeing that demon beast.

Shaaaak-.

The aura emanating from Fen clearly proved it was a demon beast.

“Hmm!”

Baek Do-gyun was impressed watching the training Yujun had done with the demon beast.

“It’s not training using force.”

Demon beasts were creatures that couldn’t be trained.

So naturally he had thought force would be used to control the demon beast.

There were plenty of ways to train beasts, such as special artifacts or reward systems.

“Because that doesn’t work on demon beasts.”

So he thought they must be controlling it with something more powerful.

But that wasn’t control.

“He really literally tamed it.”

“It’s truly amazing.”

“I can’t believe that was actually possible.”

“How did he do it? With my understanding, I can only think of controlling it with powerful artifacts or force.”

“I think I know.”

At those words, the gazes of the disciples and the Awakened that Han Seong-ju brought focused on Baek Do-gyun.

Baek Do-gyun smiled and spoke toward Yujun.

“Rapport. Right?”

“Yes.”

Yujun also smiled back and nodded.

‘He figured it out.’

The trainers who had come from Songdo for demon beast training hadn’t even thought of it.

‘This is what it takes to be called a teacher.’

“This child’s name is Fen. Please use your buff ability on Fen.”

At Yujun’s words, Han Seong-ju swallowed once and used his buff ability.

Shaaaaa-!

Han Seong-ju was a renowned Awakened at Gate Front.

He had a wide variety of support-type skills and was an excellent practitioner who could use those skills freely.

Shaaaa-.

Fen’s body glowed.

Physical enhancement.

Sensory enhancement.

While everyone was watching Fen being enhanced, Yujun was watching Han Seong-ju.

Slowly-.

‘When he uses mana, that mana has no choice but to pass through the injured areas.’

Yujun frowned.

Similarly, Baek Do-gyun was also watching Han Seong-ju, and seeing his condition, he even thought it was good that he had refused.

If he had trained incorrectly, there was even a possibility of worsening the injury.

“This will really be difficult.”

Ignoring Baek Do-gyun’s words, Yujun concentrated power in his eyes.

‘There’s still something I haven’t seen.’

-Slow motion is activated.

‘There’s definitely a way.’

All of Han Seong-ju’s movements began to appear slow.

Even the mana circulating through the mana roads.

With everything slowed down, Yujun looked precisely at one point.

‘There are mana roads that avoid it.’

There were places that avoided the injured areas.

‘If I make the circulation go through other routes instead of the mana roads around the injured areas, the mana problem will be solved.’

Shaaaaa-.

Yujun then looked at Fen’s condition.

Due to the buff’s influence, Fen’s speed had definitely increased. The power felt when swinging his front paws had also become considerable.

‘The duration is short.’

However, the duration was remarkably short.

Because of this, Han Seong-ju repeatedly used buffs, and that was putting strain on his body.

“Since when?”

There was something more he was missing.

‘The root cause of that injury.’

He understood that the buff duration had shortened due to the injury.

But what was the fundamental cause of that?

Crackle-.

Crackle crackle crackle-!

Yujun’s red lightning began to spread.

His gaze became fixed.

Han Seong-ju’s body.

The internal mana roads.

The circuits became visible.

Slowly-.

He could see inside the crack.

‘This is it.’

There was something inside that crack.

It was exactly the same as with Seo Yu-ri.

No, if there was something different from that time.

‘I can see it better.’

Yujun recalled the training hint.

It said there were impurities.

It told him to remove the impurities inside the body.

‘I simply thought that what remained in the mana roads was those impurities. But that’s not it. That alone wouldn’t cause the mana roads in the head area to swell up like that.’

Ding-!

-Rescanning the Awakened!

-Eye of Insight proficiency increases.

In the world that appeared in slow motion, Yujun’s eyes caught a very small movement.

-The scanned Awakened’s anomalies are changing!

-Anomalies: Mana poisoning, toxins

In the mana roads leading to the head.

“Found it.”

Yujun had found the answer.
