The HunterNet Buzz
The HunterNet.
A post about Kang Yujun's large-scale training session had gone up on the HunterNet.
Of course, Kang Yujun's name wasn't mentioned.
Even after the explanation, it was hard to understand.
It was that absurd.
A fierce debate broke out on the HunterNet.
On the other hand, some people thought it might be possible.
The prevailing opinion was that while teaching people separately was possible, training all fifty at the exact same time was impossible.
It was logically impossible.
No matter how you looked at it, it was pure impossibility.
Everyone was dying to know if it was real.
And not long after, photos from the training site began circulating.
Kang Yujun, trainer.
The man who had only just obtained his A-class license.
The new image of him as an A-class trainer began to overshadow the old image that had followed him like a tag.
Until recently, Yujun had been a youth trainee who failed to awaken and was expelled. Now he had become a promising A-class trainer.
A veteran A-class trainer could naturally teach S-class awakened as well.
But Yujun had only just earned his A-class license.
The HunterNet was the largest community among awakened individuals in Korea.
The fact that Kang Yujun's name was now being seriously mentioned in such a community carried deep significance.
After the large-scale training session, every guild called their scouts back to headquarters.
Since scouts usually worked in the field, being at headquarters actually felt more awkward than usual.
“Ahem.”
In the guild master's office.
Scout Oh Daesoo immediately handed over his smart pad and began his report.
“The detailed explanation of the large-scale training is all on the smart pad. If you have any questions, please ask me directly.”
“So...”
The guild master who received the report looked utterly dumbfounded.
Then he let out a hollow laugh as he looked at the smart pad.
On the screen, Yujun was conducting training at an impossible level.
“He trained fifty youths in two and a half hours, and every single session was a valid training?”
“Yes, that's correct. All fifty who received training got proper sessions.”
“Hah, so it wasn't just a performance?”
A performance of training fifty people at once.
He had naturally assumed it was nothing more than a show to prove the trainer's skill and demonstrate the maximum number of people he could teach simultaneously.
Because it was meant to show the trainer's limit, he thought they had simply gathered more people than the trainer's actual capacity.
“I figured thirty was probably the real limit and the rest were just there as extras.”
But the smart pad clearly stated that Kang Yujun had looked completely relaxed.
— Taught 50 people yet showed no signs of fatigue.
— Appeared to have intentionally selected 50 participants.
— Estimated true limit: approximately 70 people (20 more than demonstrated).
The guild master was shocked by the additional notes.
Fifty was already astonishing, but the scout was saying he could probably train seventy at once?
Scout Oh Daesoo was a serious man.
He never put jokes or uncertain guesses in his reports.
Because he only wrote confirmed information, it was even more shocking.
“He can teach twenty more? So seventy in total!”
“Yes, that's correct.”
At Oh Daesoo's words, the guild master shook his head in disbelief.
“Where on earth did a person like this come from?”
He then repeated exactly what Scout Oh Daesoo had told him over the phone.
“He's a real monster.”
No other words came to mind.
“So getting an A-class license wasn't just a formality.”
According to the certification authority that issued trainer licenses, no one in history had ever received an A-class license immediately upon passing like Yujun had.
It was an overwhelming performance worthy of that reputation.
“This large-scale training wasn't just to show off and create an opportunity.”
“Correct. It seems he deliberately gathered all the scouts to make an appeal. He's showing his power and looking to receive requests from various guilds in the future.”
“In that case... he's planning to create his own division?”
It appeared he intended to form a trainer division rather than join a guild or create a mercenary guild.
“Yes, that seems to be the case. And there appears to be one more reason.”
“The tag?”
“Yes.”
At the guild master's words, Scout Oh Daesoo nodded.
There was a persistent negative tag that kept following Kang Yujun.
“Even though he obtained an A-class license, the label of 'failed prospect' is still attached to him.”
“So he's emphasizing that he's fully transitioned into a trainer?”
“It seems he wanted to prove exactly that.”
“He succeeded. An A-class trainer who can teach fifty people simultaneously. That's more than enough to completely erase the tag that was hanging on him.”
The guild master was both impressed and dumbfounded.
If something like that was possible, they would have just hired one trainer and operated that way themselves.
“Hooooooo.”
After receiving such a shocking report, his head felt numb.
But the guild master quickly regained his composure.
“Let's put in a request too. If it's a short-term contract, he can train our youths as well, right? I heard he's been producing excellent results with youths lately.”
The guild master urgently picked up the smart pad.
“Three billion. Let's offer a three billion won contract fee for one request.”
Three billion wasn't a bad amount.
Although he had obtained an A-class license, Yujun's career was still quite short.
So he thought three billion would be sufficient.
But Scout Oh Daesoo spoke with a troubled expression.
“...Guild Master.”
“What?”
“I don't think that will work.”
“...Why? Isn't this above market rate?”
“I heard the Neverland Guild already paid him five billion for a single session.”
“......”
Yujun's value had already risen considerably.
“Then let's go with six billion!”
After the large-scale training, Yujun's phone began to burn up.
Ding—! Ding—! Ding—!
Messages of gratitude and contract requests from scouts kept pouring in.
There were also many places that wanted to meet with him in a positive sense.
Yujun quickly sent replies.
“Thank you for the offer, but I plan to focus on short-term contracts. Also, I am not accepting any contracts at the moment.”
'I'll put contracts on hold for now.'
He had no intention of signing short-term contracts with guilds right now.
'The demonic beast training will begin soon.'
That was why he had held the large-scale training and accumulated points.
'And right now, teaching my existing students takes priority.'
Unlike before, Yujun's skills had risen significantly.
'I'll raise all their ranks.'
He planned to draw out every bit of potential they possessed.
'I can earn points that way too.'
He could also complete the achievements he hadn't finished yet.
After politely sending the messages, Yujun opened the Awakened Training System.
“Huuuuh.”
Yujun stretched and smiled brightly.
“It was worth the hard work.”
Not only had he completed achievements, but he had also gained a tremendous amount of points.
'And it wasn't just about the points.'
The scouts he had invited to the large-scale training would each return to their guilds and report about him.
“This will be an opportunity to change my image.”
Yujun recalled the moment of the large-scale training.
The fifty youths had certainly made a huge impact.
“It really was a close call.”
He had called fifty people because he believed he could do it, but he had nearly failed.
“Still, I'm glad I did it.”
Thanks to that, he had secured 500 points.
'I can handle most situations now.'
Moreover, this large-scale training had greatly increased the proficiency of his Awakened Scan.
'It was my first time doing a large-scale training in reality.'
He had done it many times in the Infinite Tower, but this was his first time in the real world.
'I'm one step closer to Lv.3.'
Lv.3 wasn't something that could be achieved with points alone, so it was good to build up proficiency in advance like this.
“First, I need to set up the training schedule.”
There had been no contact yet regarding the demonic beast training.
Yujun planned to train his students before that.
He immediately sent messages to three people.
Yu Jena, Woo Hana, and Kim Minseok.
He put Lee Suyeon and Lim Seokjae on the back burner for now.
'Yu Jena received an incomplete training, so I need to give her additional training right away.'
And since Woo Hana and Kim Minseok were students he had taught in the early stages, he intended to do it properly for them this time.
'Both have high growth potential.'
Yujun was certain.
“I can raise their ranks.”
Especially Woo Hana's potential was considerable.
Ding.
“Let's set a training date.”
As soon as he sent the message, replies from the awakened came in as if they had been waiting.
“Confirmed. Thank you. Really, thank you.”
“I'll prepare for the training.”
“I'm saving up for the training fee right now, Yujun.”
“With this much passion, the results should be good.”
Ding—!
Amid the continuous stream of messages, the one Yujun had been waiting for finally arrived.

It was a message from the Neverland Guild Master.

It seemed his A-class license had worked quite effectively.
And the content was rather serious.
