Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 97
Scouts had been paying attention to One Shot recently.
“Why One Shot all of a sudden?”
“One Shot is a guild with limitations. It’s a single-class guild.”
“Well, they’ve been frantically conquering upper-tier tower raids lately.”
“Upper-tier towers?”
“They’re currently conquering towers and upper floors they couldn’t clear before!”
Upon hearing this fact, the scouts quickly began assessing the situation.
“What?”
“They got promoted to A-rank Awakener?”
“No way, they cleared the 15th floor of Tower of Indomitable? They were stuck on the 5th floor there.”
Information that One Shot had been achieving explosive results recently was delivered to various scouts.
“How on earth?”
“Ah! Seo Yu-ri!”
“Trainer Seo Yu-ri went there!”
“If it’s Seo Yu-ri as One Shot’s relief pitcher…”
Seo Yu-ri was an A-rank Trainer from a ranged Awakener background.
She had excellent training skills, so if she set her mind to it, she could have raised One Shot’s level by any amount.
“It wouldn’t have been easy though.”
“The previous trainers had skills too. They were all A-rank.”
No matter how skilled Seo Yu-ri was, raising One Shot’s level this much in such a short period was impossible.
The trainers who had been at One-Shot Guild before were all A-rank like Seo Yu-ri.
Of course, they struggled with teaching ranged Awakeners, so their rank was practically meaningless.
“What kind of training did they do?”
“Breaking news just came in. You know Hong Jun-yong from One Shot? He cleared the 7th floor of Tower of Winds.”
“…?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Hong Jun-yong is a ranged Awakener!”
Ranged Awakeners don’t work in Tower of Winds.
That was the established theory.
Countless ranged Awakeners had challenged it, but none had succeeded in clearing it.
Naturally, even SS-rank ranged Awakeners rated a level above Hong Jun-yong had failed.
But Hong Jun-yong cleared such a place?
And the 7th floor at that?
Tower of Winds was a place where difficulty increased dramatically from the 5th floor onwards.
Of course, among upper S-rank combat-type Awakeners who mainly engaged in close combat, there were those who had broken through beyond the 7th floor solo.
But it was impossible for ranged Awakeners.
It was completely impossible.
If that were possible…
“Then…”
Gulp-.
Not mid S-rank, but upper S-rank.
No, it could be rated even higher than that.
It meant Hong Jun-yong had grown like crazy.
“Is it real? Has it been cross-verified?”
“Yes, it’s confirmed. Even the tower clearing certificate came out!”
“Hong Jun-yong’s solo clearing of Tower of Winds 7th floor has been confirmed!”
This made it certain.
Hong Jun-yong’s level was no longer something that could be considered S-rank.
“He might become SS-rank…?”
SS-rank are Awakeners that even the nation treasures greatly.
If the number of S-ranks measures a nation’s power, then each SS-rank is equivalent to a tactical weapon.
The scouts were all excited about the birth of a new SS-rank.
If Hong Jun-yong were to receive official SS-rank assessment, all the top-tier guilds would try to recruit him, so their excitement was natural.
However, apart from contacting Hong Jun-yong, the scouts focused on the trainer who would have trained him.
“Call Seo Yu-ri!”
“You have Seo Yu-ri’s contact info, right?”
“A new S-rank Trainer is going to emerge!”
How many trainers had Hong Jun-yong been through?
The notorious Hong Jun-yong repeatedly broke the mentality of numerous trainers and cycled through them.
He was extremely difficult, constantly pointing out the limitations of trainers, so all trainers avoided him.
It was already amazing that someone trained such a Hong Jun-yong, but to have grown him to SS-rank. Seo Yu-ri was practically already an S-rank Trainer.
However.
“What?”
“One more person went?”
“There were two trainers who trained One-Shot Guild?”
“Then.”
“One of them trained Hong Jun-yong!”
“It wasn’t Seo Yu-ri who trained Hong Jun-yong!”
“…”
“One-Shot Guild hasn’t had trainers for over half a year, so who else went there with Seo Yu-ri?”
Everyone couldn’t understand.
There was a clear reason why One-Shot Guild, composed only of ranged Awakeners, couldn’t find a trainer for half a year.
Unless it was a trainer specialized in ranged Awakeners like Seo Yu-ri, it would have been absolutely impossible to train them.
“Who went there and taught even Hong Jun-yong?”
The names of numerous trainers floated through the scouts’ minds.
“I’m Kang Yu-jun.”
“The Kang Yu-jun who conducted that large-scale training recently?”
“But that was with Youths!”
“But he trained Hong Jun-yong?”
“There were rumors he trained a Demon Beast. So that’s true too?”
Large-scale training, Demon Beast training, and even training S-rank Awakened Hong Jun-yong.
“Isn’t this going to be the fastest rise to S-rank Trainer?”
The fastest time a Trainer had ever reached S-rank license was 9 years.
“Hasn’t it been less than a month since he switched to being a Trainer?”
Just one month.
An unprecedented event where the record could be broken in just one month might happen.
* * *
Shaaaaaaak-!
What shone in Han Seong-ju’s hand was a mineral with intense mana.
“It’s a Runestone.”
Runestone.
This mineral was one of the rare materials obtainable from towers.
Runestone was a powerful energy mass called the superior version of magic stones.
It was called a runestone because it contained the power of runes, and this runestone could be used as material for powerful artifacts and top-grade potions.
‘Artifacts made from runestones cost whatever price they ask.’
Of course, since runestones themselves were powerful energy masses, the blacksmiths who could handle them were limited.
In Korea, the Geumgang Kim Family specialized in handling runestones.
Of course, there were blacksmiths other than those affiliated with the Geumgang Kim Family who could handle them, but there was a significant quality difference compared to what the Geumgang Kim Family produced.
“I obtained this from the Tower of Fairies recently.”
The Tower of Fairies was the tallest tower at Gate Front.
It was also the tower with the highest difficulty among unconquered towers.
Therefore, climbing the Tower of Fairies at Gate Front meant you were among the select few skilled individuals.
“I received this runestone as a life-risking reward.”
Han Seong-ju had carefully saved the runestone, saying he would use it in a truly necessary situation.
“I think now is exactly that situation.”
Yujun didn’t refuse and accepted the runestone.
“I’ll gratefully accept it.”
‘To think I’d obtain a runestone like this.’
The moment he received the runestone, the Awakened Training System sounded a strong alarm.
Ttiring-!
-You have obtained a Runestone!
-You can learn skills!
-Conditions are not fully met due to low level.
Yujun’s current level was 3.
‘There were several Lv.4 skills that required runestones, I think.’
When climbing the Tower of Infinity, you could obtain runestones with a low probability.
‘They’re essential when learning skills.’
He never expected to obtain one like this.
“Since you risked your life to train me, this much is natural!”
Han Seong-ju bowed his head to Yujun.
Yujun carefully stored the runestone and gestured.
“Mr. Han Seong-ju, please give Fen another buff.”
Now that the toxins were removed, they could move on to the next training.
“When Mr. Han Seong-ju first contacted me, you said you wanted to properly climb one more floor of the Tower of Fairies, right?”
“…Yes.”
“If you just follow my words, I’ll make it so you can do that. I’ll make it so you can climb higher in the Tower of Fairies.”
Shaaaaaak-.
Yujun gripped the Geumgang staff.
“This is different timing from before. Concentrate for longer. Focus your senses on your fingertips and inject the buff into the target.”
Han Seong-ju moved his mana according to Yujun’s words.
“Don’t break it, keep it long!”
Then the buff surrounded Fen’s body.
Shaak-.
Screeeeeeeeeeeeeak-!
Instantly, Fen disappeared.
“Krung-!”
“Huff… huff…”
Clearly it was the same buff, yet Fen’s speed had noticeably increased.
It meant the quality of the buff had changed.
Han Seong-ju, who had poured all his strength into the buff, slowly smiled.
It had changed.
Everything that had been completely blocked until now had been cleared.
“Trainer…!”
“It’s not time to be moved yet.”
Yujun wasn’t satisfied yet.
“Shall we go one more time?”
Shaaaaa-.
‘Normalizing is just the basics.’
Yujun intended to break through Han Seong-ju’s limits.
‘Let’s utilize what I just learned.’
Yujun mixed Trainer Baek Do-gyun’s circuit compression and sensory blocking into his own training.
Shaaaaa-.
‘The most crucial thing in buffing.’
That was speed.
Han Seong-ju’s buffing ability itself was excellent.
‘The duration problem has been solved, but the speed of applying buffs is still slow.’
If the buff application speed was slow, switching buffs immediately according to need would inevitably be delayed.
Yujun trained Han Seong-ju with a focus on speed.
“Making buff application faster isn’t something that can be done simply by speeding up mana circulation.”
Yujun grinned.
‘He showed me earlier.’
Baek Do-gyun’s method of training with light taps.
It was a method that could be used plenty with the Vajra Staff as well.
‘I really did well to watch.’
If he hadn’t seen his training method, he wouldn’t have been able to optimize it like this.
Tap-. Tap-. Tap-.
Yujun swung the Vajra Staff at his body three times.
“I’ll show you the timing.”
To apply buffs quickly, one had to read the mana.
‘Han Seong-ju is S-rank.’
If he was an S-rank Awakened, he could realize it plenty just by being taught this simply.
“…!”
Sure enough, Han Seong-ju understood immediately.
“To think speed could be increased this easily.”
Han Seong-ju continued to apply buffs to Fen.
A momentary sense of unity.
Until now, Han Seong-ju’s buffing had stages.
Draw up mana, extend his hand, and inject the buff.
But this series of processes had been combined into one through Yujun’s training.
Inject the buff.
Immediately, without any interruption.
Quickly!
Yujun gestured to Han Seong-ju.
“Speed correction complete.”
“…”
Han Seong-ju looked at the results he had achieved.
And most importantly.
“I can’t see afterimages anymore…”
-You have trained Awakened Han Seong-ju!
-It’s perfect training!
-You have trained an Auxiliary Awakened!
-Calculating training score.
-Training score 10 / 10
-S-rank Auxiliary Awakened training count increases.
The number of Auxiliary Awakened in the S-rank Specialist Achievement section went up.
‘Now what remains.’
Is only teaching Beast Realm and Summoning S-rank Awakened.
At that time, Baek Do-gyun also finished training his fourth person.
“…”
Even while training the Awakened, Baek Do-gyun couldn’t take his eyes off Yujun’s training.
His training methods.
His way of thinking and approach to finding problems stimulated Baek Do-gyun.
Of course, that didn’t mean his training became disorganized.
No, it was actually positive.
Thud-. Thwack-.
Crack-!
Thanks to Yujun, his concentration actually increased, and without realizing it, his training speed had improved.
“….”
Originally, he was a Trainer who avoided fast-paced training.
But now he had been influenced by Yujun.
“Heh heh heh.”
“The shoulder pain is gone…!”
Watching the considerably delighted Awakened, Baek Do-gyun looked at his own hands.
He could be certain.
“Right now….”
He was being strongly influenced by Kang Yu-jun.
