Chapter 14….

I Became a Transcendent-Level Genius Trainer

Yujun was flustered.

“Trained them? Does this even count as training? This wasn’t in the Infinite Tower…”

There were many ways to earn points in the Infinite Tower, but fundamentally, one had to personally train the Awakened.

“Can I really get points just by influencing them like this? No… wait. Is this achievement points?”

A notification about an achievement caught his eye.

[Achievement Unlocked]
[Eloquent Speech] You have trained even those who are not your target through your eloquence!
You’ve earned points for your excellent communication skills.
Points gained: 5P

This was a system also present in the Infinite Tower.

Now Yujun had a rough idea.

“Ha.”

He smiled at the unexpected points and achievement.

“I got 5 points just like that.”

After scanning and analyzing Awakened, he decided to unlock a third skill.

“According to what I know…”

There was a skill in Lv.2 that was considered the crown jewel of the Awakened Training System.

“I might reach this faster than I thought.”

“Thank you.”

Team Leader Kim smiled and went outside.

“Achievement points alone might be quite a lot. In that case…”

It seemed smart to consider training centered around achievements as well.

“I can expand the range even further.”

Following Woo Hana, it was Kim Gyojun’s turn.

The two Awakened Yujun took under contract from Sky Guild had fully awakened.

Thanks to this, Yujun accumulated quite a number of points.

He currently had a whopping 15P.

“I’ll unlock the third skill.”

Yujun had only unlocked two Lv.1 skills so far: Awakened Scan and Awakened Analysis.

“Let’s unlock everything first and quickly move to Lv.2.”

Skill Unlocked

-You have unlocked the final Lv.1 skill!
-The third Lv.1 skill is unlocked!
-[Training Speed Increase] Skill acquired!

“Training speed increase?”

-The training speed of Awakened you teach increases!
-Current speed increase: 10%
-You can invest points to increase this speed further.

“Oh ho.”

-Lv.2 skill restrictions lifted.
-You can invest points to learn Lv.2 skills!

By unlocking all Lv.1 skills, he could now also learn Lv.2 skills.

“30P, huh.”

Unlocking the first Lv.2 skill required a hefty 30P.

“Let’s take it slow.”

Naturally, Yujun didn’t intend to keep teaching only Yus.

“At this rate, I don’t need to limit myself to Yus.”

The next target was the first-tier Awakened.

“To train first-tier Awakened…”

“I’ll start with the remaining points.”

Yujun opened the skill tree immediately.

-Physical Enhancement Lv.1
Lv.2 Requirement: 5P

“Physical Enhancement.”

He invested all remaining points into Physical Enhancement.

Shyaaak!

Vitality surged throughout his body.

-Physical Enhancement skill level increased!
-Physical Enhancement Lv.2

“This should do it.”

Training first-tier Awakened would no longer be hindered by lack of stamina.

“You want to train first-tier Awakened?”

Guildmaster’s Office.

Guildmaster Lee Hyukjun greeted Yujun with a wide smile. The results Yujun showed in the recent internal evaluation were remarkable.

Kim Gyojun, who had previously ranked last, now came in first.

Yus who had been dismissed for not matching the Sky Guild level had now reached their potential, thanks to Yujun.

“Thanks to you!”

From the Guildmaster’s perspective, Yujun continuing to work with Sky Guild was a relief.

“I won’t forget this favor! Thank you!”

With that, Lee Hyukjun handed him an envelope, noticeably thicker than the previous performance bonus.

“It’s a modest amount, about ten million won.”
“You’re giving me too much.”
“Compared to your achievements, it’s small. And you said you’d train first-tier Awakened!”

This was extra money, separate from the required payments.

“I’m not used to this yet.”

Until now, Yujun had never earned money from work. After becoming a Yu of the Promise Guild, he had received activity support separately.

“This is effectively the first time I’ve earned a large sum.”

If he continued receiving performance bonuses like this, his bank account would soon have figures in the hundreds of millions.

“I’ll have to think separately about what to do with it.”

“Thank you. I’ll also deposit the contract fee separately!”

The Guildmaster had abandoned plans for a formal re-contract with Yujun.

He wasn’t the type of talent the Sky Guild could exclusively retain.

As a freelance trainer, Yujun could easily sign with better guilds and stronger Awakened.

Maintaining a good relationship now was the best strategy.

“Shouldn’t we talk to the first-tier trainers?”
“Yes, but there’s no need to worry.”

The Guildmaster assured him.

“Everyone knows your achievements. No one will act territorial. If they do, I’ll fire them.”
“You don’t need to go that far…”
“I must! Anyway, consider it handled.”

After Yujun left, Executive Director Lee entered.

“You’re leaving? What a shame.”

The Guildmaster shook his head vigorously.

“He wants to train first-tier Awakened?”
“First-tier, you say?”

Trainers, like Awakened, had stages in their career.

Start with Yus, then first-tier Awakened, then high-ranking first-tier Awakened.

Some later returned to teaching Yus, but mostly that was considered running away.

“Yus are used to learning daily. They absorb what they’re taught. But first-tier Awakened…”
“They have strong egos and are rough. Hard to change.”

Even if first-tier Awakened had flaws, correcting them was difficult.

Yus were fundamentally learners, making them easier to train.

First-tier Awakened were not. Difficult, ego-driven, and well-defended from experience.

Trainers for them needed strong mental fortitude. Those who didn’t often returned to teaching Yus.

“It would be best if he could train first-tier Awakened with the same skill as he used for Yus. I’m concerned. Among first-tier Awakened…”
“It’s fine. Everyone here knows Kang Yujun.”

The first-tier Awakened all knew of him, though as a failed Yu, not a successful trainer.

“They won’t listen. Maybe we should let him train more Yus first?”

While Lee’s suggestion had merit, the Guildmaster shook his head. Kang Yujun was entirely different from any Awakened trainer he had known.

“Let’s see what he can do.”

“I didn’t expect Gyojun to change like that.”
“Can someone really change that fast?”
“Internal evaluations finished yesterday, and he was out at dawn today. Unbelievable.”

After the internal evaluation, Yus kept talking about Kim Gyojun.

The transformation shocked them—not only Kim Gyojun’s ability, but also the skills of Kang Yujun who trained him.

“Woo Hana and Gyojun both changed just from Kang Trainer briefly watching them.”
“If we train under Kang Trainer, could we change like that too?”

The Yus’ talk spread even among first-tier Awakened of Sky Guild.

“A new trainer?”
“A freelance trainer, right?”

First-tier Awakened had never cared about Yu trainers.

Trainers for first-tier Awakened were separate from Yus’ trainers.

But the problem was Woo Hana.

“The trainer who trained Woo Hana made the last-place Yu first place?”

Woo Hana had been called up to first-tier, assigned to the lowest team, but after a single evaluation was promoted to the top team—an unprecedented situation.

First-tier Awakened became aware of the new trainer at the center of it all.

And now another Yu had been made first place. Curiosity was inevitable.

Some also sneered.

“It’s Kang Yujun.”
“He was dismissed for not Awakening. Who’s he teaching?”
“Training skills? Then why couldn’t he improve himself?”
“They say monks can’t shave their own heads, maybe that’s it?”

The first-tier Awakened laughed at the ridiculous rumors.

“Yus are Yus. Being first-tier is a different story. Being first among Yus means nothing here.”

Meanwhile, Kang Yujun arrived at the first-tier training hall and opened the door.

The first-tier Awakened, chatting excitedly, noticed him.

‘Interesting stories.’

They didn’t know why the Yu trainer had come to the first-tier hall, but glanced at him and began training.

Each had their own session, leaving no time to care about Yujun.

Shwaak!
Ku-woong… ku-woong…!

The first-tier Awakened trained individually.

Yujun quietly observed.

“From Sales Team 1 to 3…”

Everything about them started entering Yujun’s perception.
