I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

"When I went to Xiaobei's house before, I always slept there!"

Orn wiped the sweat from his brow, squatted down, looked into the girl's bright eyes, and earnestly lied, "Miss Light Diamond, no one has lived in my house for a long time. The environment upstairs is too dirty to live in anymore!"

"Besides, my house doesn't have many rooms. If you want to stay here overnight, what are you going to do with the women who take care of you? Do you want them to sleep on the streets and catch a cold?"

"How about this, after you go to middle school, I'll take you to the places you want to go? How about that?"

The driver, Ma Niang, had initially intended to suggest they sleep on the floor, but after a moment's thought, she decided to keep quiet, not wanting to interrupt her little princess's contemplation.

Moreover, she wouldn't feel comfortable letting Hikari spend the night at a strange man's house, even if the man was someone her senior (the previous driver) and Lord Kawatsuru had praised.

However, Satomi Hikari was clearly fooled; Orn's seemingly high-sounding words actually contained an element of moral blackmail.

Although the young girl is from a noble family and far surpasses her peers in interpersonal skills and conduct, she has not yet been deceived by the wickedness of the world.

Orn's words truly troubled her conscience, but she didn't want to leave this room full of secrets and exploration so soon.

After a long period of contemplation, Satomi Hikari raised his head and stared intently into Orn's dark pupils.

The girl raised her right hand, making a pinky promise: "Then... Mr. Ornn! Let's pinky promise!"

"A pinky promise is a magic spell that can absolutely fulfill your promise!"

Seeing Satomi Hikari's very serious expression, Orn smiled and extended his hand: "Okay, okay, let's pinky swear. After you pinky swear, you'll go back obediently, okay?"

The horse girl with long brown hair twitched her ears rapidly, and her tail kept slapping her legs.

After the pinky promise, she obediently got into the back seat of the car.

The driver, Ma Niang, breathed a sigh of relief. She bowed apologetically to Orn and said, "Miss Orn usually likes to do strange things. I'm sorry for the trouble."

"It's alright, it's alright. The little girl is indeed very well-behaved and lovable!"

"Aside from having somewhat unique interests, everything else is alright, I think..."

Orn chuckled, recalling the jewelry pieces that Satomi Hikaru had finally chosen, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Outsiders might not know the purpose of those ornaments, but Ornn himself knew very well.

The craftsmanship of these items is on par with the amulets he gave to Oguri and the other two. In other words, one can discern a person's underlying personality from the souvenirs they choose.

After careful consideration, Satomi Kozumi didn't choose sachets, cherry blossoms, hairpins, wooden fish, or prayer beads. Instead, she chose a souvenir made like a chain, which made Orn somewhat uneasy.

Chains represent restraint and control, and also symbolize extreme power. It's astonishing that a seemingly obedient and docile little girl would choose something like this...

She also chose a ring and diamonds, and strung both items onto a chain.

A ring represents a vow, a contract, and a promise, while a diamond has many interpretations: stability, sharpness, brilliance, and ultimately, eternity.

The two items were chained together and securely locked in an iron lock—a meaning Orn dared not even imagine.

'No, no, no, perhaps it's just something a child plays with without understanding. Although what I make has a certain symbolic meaning, there are also things that are completely immune to that influence. Isn't the chestnut hat a typical example?'

Watching the convoy disappear into the distance, Orn shook his head. Satomi Hikari was such a well-behaved and adorable child! How could he possibly be like this? This must be a misjudgment!

'Looks like I was overthinking it. I should get some sleep now; I have to take another helicopter ride tomorrow.'

Sitting in the car, Satomi Hikari picked up the chain-like pendant she had chosen and suddenly laughed.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss, you seem very happy today? How does it feel to meet your idol?"

The girl blushed and whispered, "He's not an idol... Mr. Orn is really amazing. He can train a horse girl who can win the Japanese derby and also take care of his own interests."

"Hey! Sister, you saw it too! Mr. Orn's studio has lots of interesting things!"

"Next time... after I enter middle school, I will definitely ask Mr. Orn to take me to see all his collections!"

The driver, Ma Niang, smiled. Her little princess did indeed have an interest in these strange and unusual things, and the family supported her in pursuing her interests.

Perhaps, once she enters Central Tereson Middle School, Orn will be able to satisfy this curious young lady?

Satomi Hikari first learned about Ornn through his father's story.

Six months ago, Satomi Kazuru told Hikari in a rather mysterious way that he had found a very promising trainer and wanted the person to take over his training.

When she first learned of this news, Mitsuzu Satomi was actually somewhat dissatisfied. She protested to her father, hoping that she could find her own trainer after she entered the middle school.

But this time, Satomi Kazuru, who always granted his daughter's every wish, did not agree to her request. The current head of the Satomi family rarely displayed paternal authority, patiently dissuading the agitated Hikari, and eventually calming her down.

Although the girl was still somewhat unhappy, she also became curious about the person her father kept praising.

Satomi Hikari learned about Orn for the second time when he overheard a conversation between Koki's father and his own father while visiting Koki's house.

During their conversation, the name "Orn" was mentioned repeatedly. The two fathers seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves, praising this young man they had never met before.

Satomi Hikaru had almost never seen anyone who could earn such praise from Koko's father. Unlike her own father's usual refined and easygoing demeanor, Koko's father always carried an aura of sternness, which often startled her.

How could someone like that praise another person so lavishly? The girl began to feel even more curious.

Satomi Kozumi learned about Ornn for the third time during the Japanese derby match.

Despite ranking fifth in popularity and participating in the Japanese derby for the first time, Oguri Kaede narrowly surpassed Sakura Chiyoo to win Dolan's first G1 medal.

After the match, the image of Oguri carrying the injured Sakura Chiyoou towards the tunnel also left a deep impression on her.

Perhaps Mr. Orn isn't as bad as he imagined, given that he can train such a strong yet gentle horse girl.

Satomi Hikari learned about Ornn for the fourth time just fifteen minutes ago.

If she had to describe it, it would be that the moment she saw Orn, she had already made her decision.

No matter how many difficulties we have to overcome! No matter how much training we have to undergo!

'I! I'm determined to make him my trainer!'

Satomi Hikari had initially thought there would be some kind of assessment required to join Orn's team, so she cautiously inquired with Orn.

The other party agreed very readily, almost without hesitation, which caused Satomi Hikaru's brain to short-circuit for a moment.

Afterwards, Orn warmly invited her to choose souvenirs and generously said that she could take as many as she wanted, even if she had to pack them all up and take them away!

Although Kozumi Satomi really wanted them all, she restrained her impulse and only chose three small items to give to her closest people. Then, following her instincts, she chose three keepsakes for herself.

Not only that, she also made a pinky promise with Mr. Orn, and according to Xiao Bei, this was a magic that could never be broken!

"Hmph~~~Hmph~~~~"

Thinking of this, the girl's mood brightened even more. Her tail slapped up and down on the sofa, and her ears twitched incessantly with her owner's excitement.

"Next time, when I enter the elementary school, I will definitely surprise Mr. Orn!"

"I... want to become a diamond that shines with dazzling light!"

Chapter 196 This is attack, this is defense, this is Genichiro Ashina.

Sato, who remained where he was, watched the horse girls of Dolan's squad frolicking on the beach and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Ornn had already given her instructions before leaving; he had prepared a comprehensive training plan for his team, so she didn't need to worry about it.

At the same time, Ornn generously stated that if she was interested in those training sessions, she could ask the members of Dolan's team herself, and Little Chestnut Hat and the others would not refuse.

"Ha! Are you looking down on me, this newly recruited genius trainer from the Central Training Center!?"

At the time, Sato was still very arrogant. She waved her hand dismissively and said, "Oun! You underestimate the value of the trainers selected to join Central Treson!"

"No need to ask! I only need to observe briefly to see what your real training content is under that disguise!"

Ornn just sighed helplessly, then muttered, "Whatever makes you happy."

At that time, Sato didn't understand the meaning of Orn's sigh, but now, sitting on the beach, Sato understands it somewhat.

She had been sitting on the beach for a very long time, watching until her makeup was ruined by the sun, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her skin turned dark, but she still couldn't figure out what the point of Dolan's team's training was.

Oguri, currently the strongest member of Dolan's squad, clenched her fists tightly. Her gaze was resolute as she meticulously slipped through the water, her expression tense and serious, though she seemed a little dim-witted.

Judging from the way she was straining, it didn't seem like she was just splashing around in the water, but rather like she was doing some kind of mysterious balance training.

Fujimasa and Mejiro Ardan's training was more normal. Although they were still playing in the water, they would occasionally run a few laps on the beach.

Although Sato didn't think that playing in the water for a while and then running fifty meters on the shore would help the horse girls' bodies, seeing how sweaty they were... it didn't seem like they were faking it.

As for the final, brand-new glory...

Sato turned to look at her side. Little Deer Hair was half-lying in the sand, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses. She held a bottle of chilled orange juice in her right hand and was rapidly typing on her phone in her left.

Judging by her hand speed, is this girl having an online match?

Seemingly noticing Sato's gaze, Shinonome looked up in confusion.

She reached up and adjusted her sun hat, then picked up the drink beside her and handed it to Sato, saying, "Huh? Trainer Sato, would you like to drink this? Here, have some, I don't mind."

Sato sighed, leaning his head back, "No, I'm just a little curious."

"Brand New Radiance, are you here on vacation? Why aren't you training?"

The newly radiant woman was even more confused. She put down her juice and asked, puzzled, "I was definitely training. Where didn't I train?"

"Where have you been training? More accurately, has anyone in Dolan's team actually been training?"

Sato finally settled in Bengbu. When a person's inner doubts and confusion accumulate to an extreme, they will not calmly seek answers, but will instead become angry.

It's like a constipated person finally feeling their intestines move, but what gushes out isn't solid matter, but wisps of gas; the solid matter stubbornly remains inside their intestines.

Trainer Sato's doubts eventually caused her to lose her temper. She initially wanted to yell at and question the members of Dolan's team about what they were doing, but the physical difference between humans and horse girls brought her back to her senses.

A common man's anger is just that—anger.

Sato sighed, and after taking several deep breaths, she finally managed to calm herself down.

"Guanghui, at least from my perspective, you really are just lying here slacking off, aren't you? Is slacking off a kind of training?"

The newly radiant light tilted its head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, I see. I understand now."

“Our benefactor told us before that Chiyo and her trainer are considered our strategic partners, so I’ll tell you about our training methods!”

Having said that, Shining Brightly stuffed his hat and glasses into Sato's hands.

Then, she braced herself with both hands on the ground, jumped up, and landed back on the beach.

It was only then that Sato noticed that even buried in the sand, Shiny's brand-new feet were still wearing the Dolan Squad's standard training boots.

After undergoing processes such as seawater washing, sun exposure, sand burial, sweat soaking, and high-temperature fermentation,

The shoes smell... strangely, they have a refreshing, cool fragrance!

Sato: "?"

"This is illogical!" she wanted to scream out, but then she remembered that standing before her was a creature of immense strength, a being known as the Horse Girl.

So she swallowed those words back. After all, there are plenty of unscientific things out there. Perhaps it's not impossible that medieval iron boots that can automatically cool down and deodorize don't exist?

Shining Bright took off her boots and placed them in front of Sato, saying with a smile, "Come on! Trainer Sato, try them on too!"

"Once you put on these shoes, you'll understand what kind of training we're doing!"

Sato hesitated for a moment, then took off his running shoes and slipped his feet into the steel boots that emitted wisps of cold, white smoke.

"So cold... these boots feel like they're made of ice!"

As soon as she slipped her feet into her boots, she felt an extremely cool sensation travel from her feet all the way through her body, almost instantly dispelling the heat within her.

Moreover, the shoes seemed tailor-made for her; they fit her perfectly, and just putting them on made her want to scream.

Sato looked up, unable to hide her excitement, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Radiance...where...where did you buy these shoes!"

"They fit so well and feel so cool; if it weren't for their somewhat over-the-top appearance, I would have bought a pair myself!"

With a touch of smugness, she puffed out her chest and snorted, "Hmph! I won't tell you! This is my benefactor's secret recipe!"

"Why don't you try walking in them? The really amazing thing about these shoes is that you can actually walk in them!"

Sato nodded and started walking forward.

But in the next instant, she inexplicably fell face-first onto the beach.

"Huh? I...why..."

Sato shook the sand off her head in surprise. She looked back at her feet and was astonished to find that she hadn't lifted her feet to move forward at all!

She quickly stood up and tried to lift her right foot again.

A force as heavy as a thousand pounds suddenly surged through her feet, causing her to let out a muffled groan.

No matter how hard she tried, the shoe remained stationary, not moving forward even a centimeter!

"Heh heh~~ Now you know, this is our Dolan Squad's daily training!"
