Heretic Trainer: The Gym Is My Cultivation Method

Paren was so shocked that his voice echoed throughout the office. ”One A1 monster wasn’t enough, so now you brought me another one?!”

Garion laughed loudly from the other side of the holographic screen. ”Hahaha! Why are you acting so angry? Isn’t this good news?”

Paren pointed at him with a trembling finger. ”That’s exactly why I’m angry!”

Garion blinked. ”Huh?”

Paren grabbed his head with both hands, looking like he wanted to laugh and scream at the same time.

”I’m happy because this is an incredible opportunity! But I’m angry because you keep throwing ridiculous surprises at me without warning!”

Dahlia crossed her arms proudly. ”So basically, you’re praising me?”

Paren looked at her. Then he looked back at the data again.

His expression became even more complicated. ”No... this isn’t just about A1.”

Garion raised an eyebrow. ”What do you mean?”

Paren pointed at Dahlia’s race information. ”She’s a dragon.”

The office fell silent for a brief moment.

Paren took a deep breath before continuing, ”Do you understand what that means in the Cosmic Universe?”

Garion shrugged casually. ”Strong race?”

Paren’s mouth twitched. ”That’s an understatement.”

He leaned closer to the screen, his eyes serious now.

”Dragons are one of the true top races in cosmic civilization. Their numbers are low, but almost every dragon is born with powerful bloodline potential, terrifying bodies, long lifespans, and natural authority over weaker species.”

Dahlia’s grin widened slightly.

Paren continued, ”Humans are also considered a top race, but that’s mostly because of our insane population. There are too many humans across the universe, so naturally, countless monsters appear among them.”

He pointed at Dahlia again. ”But dragons are different. Their numbers are much smaller, yet their average quality is absurdly high.”

Garion slowly nodded. ”So Dahlia being A1 as a dragon is even more valuable?”

Paren immediately snapped his fingers. ”Exactly!”

Then he looked at Garion with a mixture of excitement and helpless anger. ”An A1 human is already enough to make factions interested.”

His gaze shifted toward Dahlia. ”But an A1 dragon at Late Awakening Realm? That means her future potential is terrifying even among dragons.”

Dahlia proudly lifted her chin. ”As expected of me.”

Garion nodded seriously. ”As expected of my first disciple.”

Paren stared at the two of them.

For some reason, their expressions were exactly the same... shameless and overconfident.

Paren slowly covered his face with one hand. ”...I’m starting to understand why she’s your disciple.”

Paren immediately waved his hand. ”No need. I’ll handle both her Cosmic ID registration and tournament registration myself.”

Alira nodded. ”Understood.”

Paren looked at Dahlia’s data again, still unable to fully calm down.

”For now, like Garion, she’ll receive a temporary Silver ID first. After her background clears, her ID rank will most likely be upgraded properly.”

Dahlia tilted her head. ”Silver ID?”

Garion waved casually. ”Basically cosmic identity stuff. You’ll get used to it.”

Paren ignored that simple explanation and leaned closer to the screen. ”Anyway, both of you just need to dominate the tournament.”

His grin widened. ”If two A1 monsters from my Cosmic Terminal appear together, our broadcast ranking will explode. My terminal’s reputation will soar!”

Garion suddenly raised one hand. ”Wait. No.”

Paren froze. ”No?”

Garion nodded calmly. ”I’m not joining.”

The office instantly fell silent.

Paren slowly frowned. ”Why?”

Garion let out a sigh and leaned back in his seat. ”Manager Paren, I’m a trainer, not a fighter.”

Paren’s mouth twitched. ”You’re clearly strong enough to fight.”

”Yeah, I’m strong,” Garion admitted without shame. ”But that’s not what I want to showcase.”

He pointed at Dahlia beside him. ”I want people to see what someone trained by God Gym can become.”

Dahlia immediately grinned proudly.

Garion continued, ”If I enter and crush everyone, people will only say I’m strong. But if Dahlia enters alone and dominates...”

His grin slowly widened. ”Then people will ask who trained her.”

Paren fell silent.

Garion crossed his arms. ”That’s the point. I’m not advertising myself as a fighter.”

He tapped his chest with his thumb. ”I’m advertising myself as a coach.”

Paren rubbed his chin, clearly thinking.

”But Dahlia is a dragon,” he said slowly. ”People may assume she’s strong because of her race, not because of your training.”

Garion sighed. ”That’s true but...”

He turned to Dahlia and gave her a look. ”Tell him the truth.”

Dahlia blinked, then immediately understood what he meant.

She crossed her arms and looked toward Paren through the holographic screen. ”Actually, I wasn’t born a dragon.”

Paren froze. ”...What?”

Even Alira turned her head slightly.

Dahlia grinned proudly. ”Before meeting Master, I was just a normal human. And not even a strong one.”

She pointed at herself casually. ”At that time, I was still stuck in the Mortal Realm.”

Paren’s expression slowly changed.

Dahlia continued, ”Then Master trained me.”

Garion nodded proudly from the side. ”After that, her hidden dragon bloodline began awakening little by little.”

Dahlia clenched her fist, and a faint dragon aura slowly rose around her body. ”My entire existence changed.”

Her grin widened. ”And eventually, I became what I am now.”

Paren stared at the screen silently.

Garion then pointed at Dahlia’s age data. ”And look at her age.”

Paren’s eyes shifted toward the information again.

[Age: 24]

Garion smirked. ”As far as I know, dragons are a long-lived race, right? Usually, the older they are, the deeper their bloodline and the stronger their body becomes.”

Paren slowly nodded. ”That’s generally true...”

Garion’s grin became even more shameless. ”But Dahlia is only twenty-four.”

He leaned closer to the screen. ”She didn’t become strong because she had thousands of years to grow as a dragon.”

Then he tapped his own chest proudly. ”She became strong because I trained her.”

Dahlia immediately laughed loudly. ”Hahaha! That’s right!”

She cracked her knuckles with a fierce grin. ”I was weak before Master picked me up.”

Then her dragon aura flared slightly. ”But now?”

She lifted her chin proudly. ”I’m the greatest senior sister of God Gym.”

Paren remained silent for several seconds.

Then he slowly leaned back in his chair, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.

A human who became a dragon through training.

A Mortal Realm weakling who reached Late Awakening Realm at only twenty-four.

An A1 evaluation before even reaching Peak Awakening Realm.

This was no longer just a dragon genius.

This was proof.

Proof that Garion’s training method could create monsters.
